STICK (grocery store edition)

PSA do not mess with me and my emotional support stick at no frills. (It's a sugar cane from fresh produce).

~~

It was both a happy distraction thinking about twirling the stick and Flo staffing, and also made me feel safe. It has been over a year I think since I have lost not felt panicked in the grocery store so this was really great! 

At one point I was going to put it down so that I can more easily get a produce bag. But after I set it down, a guy turned and looked at me weird, and I turned back around fully and making full eye contact picked the stick back up, mentally saying “it’s mine!” (Like a dog.) he gave me a bit of distance but followed me around the grocery store. Inside an aisle, where I had the feeling he was going to make his way inside. Soon, when he did I started twirling the stick a bit, not wildly but solidly with both feet firm on the ground.

I did not see him again 😂
